My next novel WRAPPED IN GREEN COMFORT is coming along nicely, but unfortunately not at my usual pace. It is a literary fiction novel about a young middle-class woman who's been imprisoned in her bedroom by her father and step-mother. Of course, the reason for this is not revealed until the final chapter. She escapes with the help of a man who sees her at her window, and she goes to live with him in a downtrodden area of the city. What happens between Virginia and the young man isn't yet clear. I am writing Chapter Five and still fiddling with the plot. I always find that until I reach at least Chapter Twelve nothing is certain in the way of events. Characters eventually obtain a life of their own and ultimately determine the outcome. Hopefully the novel will be done by late July at the latest. More news when there's anything to report.
